Dear Mr. Ryu:

In your letter dated January 4, 2008, you requested a classification ruling. Your sample will be returned as requested.

The pullover blouse features a scoop neckline, ¾ length sleeves with an elasticized hem, a partial back opening secured by a decorative chain. The garment also features a banded bottom that is elasticized in the rear.

The applicable subheading for the style 8323-2028 will be 6211.43.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments, women’s or girls’: of man-made fibers: blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, sleeveless tank styles and similar upper body garments, excluded from heading 6206. The duty rate will be 16 percent ad valorem.
